Franchising is in my blood. My great-grandparents were among the original Dairy Queen owners in Northwest Ohio, and I grew up watching my dad run a franchise consulting firm. I’ve held roles in sales, marketing, and communications with Hershey’s, the Indianapolis Colts, Sports Illustrated, and Athletes in Action. Great companies, great titles, but over time I craved autonomy, purpose, and the ability to build something of my own. That led me to the franchise world.
Today I help clients nationwide and right here in Cincinnati find franchise opportunities that fit their skills, values, and goals. And thanks to the flexibility of the franchise model, I also coach high school football . If you’re ready to explore what business ownership could look like for you, let’s start a conversation and find a franchise that fits the life you want to build.
My Journey
I spent the first few years of my career working for great companies, but growing up around a family business showed me a different path. I watched my family build something of their own and saw firsthand the freedom, responsibility, and pride that came with ownership. I eventually realized I wanted that same opportunity rather than spending my career as an employee. With franchising already in my family, the path felt natural. Today, as a franchise consultant in Cincinnati, I help entrepreneurs explore franchise opportunities and make the transition from working for someone else to building something of their own.
